While Hikvision and their supporters have tried to minimize their security concerns by saying the devices were on a closed network, Hikvision's announcement touts them being on the US government's network:

The WSJ article has, unfortunately, not addressed these important concerns. Where are the Hikvision VMS software, recorders and encoders? Are they still running on the US government's network?

Instead of cooperating, Hikvision has chosen to attack the WSJ and US government officials who have raised such concerns, turning to their fellow Chinese government entity, the People's Daily, to 'strike back'.

If you know of any US government officials who can help here, please pass this along. We would be happy to provide more information and support, contact us at security@ipvm.com
